WA Clean Buildings Standard

Clean Buildings Standard

MacDonald-Miller provides energy benchmarking and building performance services to ensure your building will be in compliance with the Washington Clean Buildings Performance Standard. To meet the Clean Buildings Act requirements, all commercial buildings (20,000 square feet and larger) must benchmark their buildings using Energy Star Portfolio Manager and meet their Energy Use Intensity (EUI) target.

Why partner with MacDonald-Miller as your Building Performance Contractor? We work with building owners to provide cost-effective energy-saving solutions. We can help develop energy management plans, including creating energy benchmarking reports so you can feel confident meeting the new performance requirements and comfortable in your new Clean Building.

Meydenbauer Center

“We have undertaken eight energy efficiency measures to help reduce our facility energy usage this year with the help of the MacDonald-Miller team, and the experience has been great. Our Project Manager makes the process easy. We trust that the work is going to come together in a timely manner, and on or underbudget. Additionally, MacMiller has a thorough measurement and verification plan to help us understand how these measures contribute to Clean Buildings Standards compliance. Their work has alleviated some of the pressure on our organization to ensure compliance with the new law.” – Sara Waltemire, Chief Operating Officer Meydenbauer Center
